Love Oceania boats!! I’m on a 5 year plan. Looking to buy in the next 3-4 years. Year 5 I’m gone for a long time.

[@howardedwards2393]

I need a lottery win. Lovely yacht. Please keep the videos coming.

[@bigchief4044]

Yup, I think I could happy with that one.

[@jefflloyd394]

Great, thanks!

[@mruss2237]

Beautiful boat.

[@jamesheynen5256]

I am saving my money as fast as I can!!! Every cent in my boat fund. Hoping 200k will get me set in 40-46 range

[@erickrueger6464]

As an owner of Beneteau First 265 I believe the woodwork of the older boats is much better than the new boats. I do think cabins of ALL new boats look like the interior woodwork was purchased from IKEA. Beneteau was famous for their woodwork and yes, I think they have cheapened up the look. Would it stop me form purchasing a new Beni, not sure.

[@mariuszkijowski2180]

Thank you Chris! When doing comparation it will be interesting to take a look at different numbers like capsize ratio, capacity of the tanks, etc. I also have a hard time to accept a dual rudders configuration in the fiberglass boat. Is Beneteau doing something special to mitigate the results of collision with a relative small object like a log? Is 2 smaller rudders safer vs one behind the keel?

[@m1k3droid]

the 34.1 really is a great little boat, but I'm a thick boi and need a bit more roominess

[@rafiemmanuelli]

Hi Chris. I will like to see a comparison with the Hanse 348.

[@thomastaylor6991]

Lovely

[@nocturnal71creature27]

Captain 😃 thanks for showing my preferred future boat …. I hope to buy in 2-3 years .You know I really like this vessel. I miss you and all the guy’s around … greetings

[@weisshalivniwine]

Thanks. In these reviews it would be nice to get the specs on the length of the cockpit benches since for many this is a sleeping berth. Can we fully stretch out on these benches?

[@garymckeown8786]

Do you have an opinion on when the sweet spot time will be for charter boats getting cycled out of service but were in service during covid and subsequently had few hours?

[@torjusekkje6264]

I like the dual helm and the hull. Not the interiour. It's trash

[@aldobenavides4244]

How would you compare The Catalina line of sailboats?

[@mof98]

hey what's the boat in the intro, 14s in?

[@markymarknj]

Looks like the PERFECT boat!

[@Name-ot3xw]

I'll be waiting for your call when you get around to the 37s

[@ChasingLatitudes]

I did the 38.1

[@todaysnarrative879]

Hey Chris what is the biggest Beneteau that can be single handed

[@ChasingLatitudes]

50 ish

[@inthisdayandage6622]

You related to Jacques?

[@jbbreese]

Those new drop downs on the rear seem almost necessary so no pre 2014ish

[@bucknaykid5821]

Second hehe

[@colsmith7257]

Unfortunately I was on different longitude sleeping during the stream. All I can say is you have drastically changed my semi-retire ment strategy

[@riphaven]

the inside looks like a dentist's office waiting room.

[@larkangel6593]

There's tons of classic boats available that have more tradional interior furnishings Capt Q has a great series discovering some great finds in the NE region Just know what you're getting with these older boats. For one, a big refit bill. Two, a slow, cramped boat Horses for courses and all that ...

[@truckingsailor5526]

The best? I would have bet money you would have said Catalina. 😆

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Hahah

[@julesmoto9022]

You are always banging on about new designs having a length overall similar to their Waterline length so you aren't paying Marina and slipping fees without getting accommodation although the new crop of straight stem or reverse sloped stem boats all have bow spirits that increase their overall length for absolutely no gain in accommodation. Fill in that space with the same water line length and you have yourself an anchor chain locker at least. Also if you take that European rating which indicates the boat is a coastal Cruiser or an ocean crosser you have to be very naive as these new boats are built extremely light with flat bottoms and insubstantial mounts for the Keel not to mention twin riders with no Skeggs which are extremely vulnerable to striking any sort of debris or fish with no protection which would otherwise be afforded from the Keel. Your reviews are all about internal space with no reference to sailing characteristics or dick gear. You sound like a salesman at a Boat Show trying to a appeal to the woman of the family.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

It's for sure top three

[@brokinarrow1]

your really not giving folks good or accurate information.The notion that all older boats need to be refitted before getting those vessels out sailing is not at all accurate.Sailing Atticus didn't end up spending a small fortune refitting their newly acquired boat bacause it was old.They ended up in that situation because they did not do their due diligence in finding the the right boat.I personally don't agree with you at all concerning Beneteau .There are plenty of awesome seaworthy sailboats for sale that have been meticulously maintained and are 20,30,even 40 yrs old ,still beautiful to the eye and still a blast to sail,and their not going to run you a quarter of a million dollars.Where do you think these current generation Beneteau's are going to be in 40yrs? probably in a landfill.Its ok Chris,I understand,your of that generation that doesn't appreciate old things in general and you'll in general avoid a hard days work like the plague.You simply don't see any value in it. Thats a shame in my opinion but you have lots of time to learn from your experiences and hopefully you will.

Oddly enough although I sound like I'm 20 I'm decades older than 20 and with over 200,000 NM sailed, certified sailing instructor for the largest sailing school in the Americas and numerous ocean crossings. I did not come to my conclusions by chance or because I don't appreciate older things, I have came to my conclusion based on sailing in the real world including every condition you could imagine including category 4/5 hurricanes. The newer beneteau's in 40 years will be sailing just like the current 30 plus year old beneteau's are now. There is no secret or opinion when it comes to older vessels needing far more work to maintain as well as everything on a sailboat has a lifespan. And finding any sailboat that's well maintained is difficult enough let alone one that's 40 years old. These are not opinions these are simple facts and I have laid it all out numerous times in videos, all the costs, all the life spans, everything someone should know long before buying some old dumpster. Captain Q is a fantastic example of fantasy vs reality, he shows absolute dumpsters and attempts to convince people with a little love they will be great, that's just a factual lie period
